A new initiative for bowls in New Zealand has been
confirmed with the sport adding a fresh level of

those from the South Island at the Dunedin Indoor Stadium,
3-5 September in a Ryder Cup type format with 18 players
each side to be announced.
Teams will be confirmed by

It was his third successive fours final defeat.
